Couldn't agree more, the forums here have expanded my life in ways I dind't expect. Glad you arrived.

I grew up in Samoa and hawaii, and when I get near a tropical climate I get all nostalgic for it. Your descriptions of going back to Zimbabwe reminded me of that.

It sounds like you hold a very enlightened viewpoint for one disposessed of his homeland. I salute you. It takes a certain amount of conciousness to see a situation in multigenerational terms.

It used to never cross my mind that one day I would find it impossible to live in the US, but over recent years I've found myself often in serious contemplation of where to go if going should become neccessary.

anyway...

see ya.
